      If this was a picture of all white workers with the same caption, do you think it would be posted here with the same effect?

      Blue collar workers in most places in the US are paid well. The caption is written in a manner that paints them as struggling so their children have a next meal. It’s sensationalized and just so happens that everyone in the image is hispanic. Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions, but I don’t think that it’s stretch to get to where I got given the image and caption.
